Violet McGraw

Violet McGraw began making her mark in horror with her role as Young Nell Crain in Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House (2018). The performance as the younger version of Victoria Pedretti's character earned her notice for its emotional depth in Mike Flanagan's series. She followed that with another Flanagan project, playing Violet in Doctor Sleep (2019), the sequel to The Shining.

In 2022, she took on the lead role of Cady in the Blumhouse hit M3GAN, portraying the young girl at the center of the story involving the AI companion doll. She reprised the character in M3GAN 2.0 (2025). Additional horror and thriller credits include Separation (2021) as Jenny Vahn.

Beyond horror, McGraw has appeared in a range of projects. She played young Yelena Belova in Marvel's Black Widow (2021) and returned to the role in Thunderbolts* (2025). Her earlier work includes a small part in Ready Player One (2018) and roles in television series such as Jett and Love.
